    BABE RUTH
    February 2, 1936 - Baseball Hall of Fame

    Babe Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame on this day. He was a famous major league baseball player for the Boston Red Sox (1914-1919) and then the New York Yankees (1920-1934). He also played for the Boston Braves (now Atlanta Braves) during his last year as a player in 1935. During Ruth's career, he had achieved much, for instance, he ranked 3rd on the all-time home run list. Part of the reason why is because he achieved a record of 60 home runs in the year 1927. Babe Ruth was also the only player to hit three home runs in two World Series appearances (1926 and 1928).

    ETHYL GASOLINE
    February 2, 1923 - General Motors Research Laboratories U.S.A.

    The first sale was made of anti-knock gasoline containing a tetra-ethyl lead compound. First sold at Willard Talbott's service station on S. Main Street in Dayton, Ohio, the fuel was called Ethyl (after its new additive, tetraethyl lead) and colored a distinctive red. This new formulation of ethyl gasoline was the the result of seven years of testing at least 33,000 compounds as additives to influence the combustion rate of the fuel. Previously, on hard acceleration, an engine sometimes made knocking, popping or crackling sounds. Knocking sapped power and could damage the engine. The suitability of tetra-ethyl lead, made from alcohol and lead, was the discovery of Thomas Midgely, Jr., of the General Motors Research Laboratories, located in Dayton. Decades later, the toxicity of the lead present in automobile emissions was recognized, and leaded gasoline is no longer sold.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • Happiness
    by Thomas Jefferson

    "...Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?) Drug Abuse

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Your business card should reflect the unique qualities that make you an individual. Before you print a new set of business cards, find out what you can do to make your business cards as unique as you are.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Whether you keep the collection of business cards you've been given by other people in a drawer, a box or neatly organized in a folder, there is one thing that the majority of the cards in your collection have in common; they're boring. However, out of the countless number of dull business cards that seem like cookie-cutter copies of each other, you undoubtedly have a few in your collection that stand out to you. And for the select few business cards that stand out to you, you actually remember the person who gave them to you.

While a plain business card makes it easy to forget someone, when you are handed a business card that makes an immediate impression on you, you are actually going to remember the person who handed it to you. If you want to have a business card that makes other people remember you, it's actually not as difficult as you may think. The key to making a business card that stands out to others is to be creative. Instead of following the masses, you have to be willing to express who you really are. As you are working on designing the perfect business card, here are some questions to ask yourself to help decide exactly what you want to create:

What is Your Job Title?

If you work for a large corporation, you may be required to use a predetermined title on your business card. However, if you work for a small company or run your own business, you may be able to add a creative job title to your card. The key is thinking about what you actually do, and then thinking of a creative way to describe it. Examples of creative job titles include Chief Inspiration Officer, Number Cruncher or Research Evangelist.

How Does Your Business Card Feel?

Because business cards are something that people actually touch, you can use the feel of yours to create a lasting impression. Instead of a standard flimsy business card, consider having your business card printed on a unique stock. Your business card can be on extra heavy stock, or silk laminated. You can even go a step farther and have your card printed on plastic or waterproof stock!
What Colors are on Your Business Card?
If you want to be ordinary, stick with black and white. If you want to stand out, think about what colors best represent who you are, and then incorporate those colors into the design of your business card.

What is the Shape of Your Business Card?

While traditional business cards have sharp corners, this doesn't mean yours has to have sharp corners. While sharp corners may be a good choice for those with a corporate role, rounded corners give a softer impression, which may be the perfect choice if you want to show that you care about others.

What Font is On Your Business Card?

While Times New Roman is a safe font choice, it's not one that's going to convey who you are. Fonts have distinct personalities, so take the time to find a font that matches your personality, and it will convey your personality to others when they read your business card.
